Question:
How do create single invocation code for all linked banners and with active banner?

Answer:
The publisher can view all the linked banners and he/she can also use these in his/her site to attract other advertisers.

This will not display the deactivated and expired banners.

you can align banners using custom css.
This Will provide a single invocation code.
Will list only the active and existing banners.
Will display all the linked banners with a single code.
Very useful to the publisher to attract new advertisers.
for more details:

I need for an invocation code to display banners of a certain size but to exclude banners that match the affiliates category from displaying on his site.

Example1 – An advertiser in category “Marketing – Network Marketing (ox_affiliates - aoc_category_id = 2202)” has a banner of size 468×60. On his website he has allocated a spot to display banners of size 468×60 but does not want to display banners from advertisers (the competition) in his same category (2202).

Do you have the instructions on how to set this up and obtain the proper invocation code OR do you have the code to alter openx (latest version) so that I may achieve my purpose. I am looking for a simple solution that won’t interfere with my ability to keep this functionality after upgrading or the instruction to achieve my purpose using openx features like Zones and keywords. In other words an encrypted module will not help because I will not be able to integrate it into my frontend so that it becomes a seemless part of my modifications.

I already have the ability to alter the database tables at will to do things like copy the comtents of ox_affiliates->aoc_category_id to ox_banners->keyword and so on.

Can you help?

Answer:

Yes, we can help you to implement your requirements in latest version of OpenX.

First let me explain your requirements.

Suppose, any publisher has selected “Marketing - Network Marketing” as a category of his site then you don’t want to display competitor banners in publisher sites.

We have to implement this custom requirements.

First our module will give category drop-down in advertiser property page so that advertiser can select his appropriate category.

(as you may know, OpenX is allowing only publishers to choose category, not to advertisers.)

At time of displaying banners, our module will check publisher category and it will allow only banners of advertisers who are not from same category.
